“SMART” is a project of an Erasmus+ Programme, under Key Action 2, Strategic Partnership with duration of 24 months – from September 2014 to July 2016. The project involves 7 partners from Denmark, Ireland, Sweden, Belgium, Italy and Netherland, representing University, Second chance schools and civil society organisations. The partners will work hand in hand on the creation of a quality measurement system for the second chance education.
The partners have met for the second time to talk about implemented project activities, first results and future steps. Several workshops were conducted on the development of the quality and measurement indicators for the Systematic Measurement System (SMS) that is under development and will represent an e-platform made available for teachers, second chance schools and organisations working in the field.
